Syracuse football fans didn’t expect a win this past weekend over Virginia Tech. However, to our incredible disbelief, it happened, 31-17. We beat a ranked team on our home turf which had the nation’s third best defense. That in itself calls for storming the field. 

For the first time since 2012, the Syracuse football beat a team in the top 25. That was four years ago, which is pretty sad, but we’ll take it. No one saw this coming. This Syracuse football team was projected to lose by 23 points. Instead we won by double digits (two touchdowns). So how did this happen? Well for one, role players stepped up and played better than they have all year. That’s what this Syracuse football team needs to do week in and week out.

So who played better than the rest against the Hokies? Here’s Inside the Loud House’s Weekly Player Power Rankings for Week 7.
